Welcome to the ‘green edition’ of the Twitch-o-Meter.  From Al Gore to Wall•E, the environment is on peoples minds and it has been a common theme in all genres and types of movies over the past few years.  Heck, even Hellboy is faced with the choice to kill a Forest god, (shades of Mononoke Hime) in the latest Guillermo Del Toro blockbuster, resulting in a gorgeous fusion of city and fauna that will take your breath away, in a melancholy fashion.  Sometimes a simple plea of a few documentarians, activists and politicos is not enough though, and filmmakers have to show a little of the nasty side of nature.  That is to say in the films below, the environment sees fit to reduce, reuse and recycle the protagonists in some-times gory, but more often then not, in mysteriously indifferent ways.

Having made $59 million in theaters, it's not even the box office bomb some expected after "Lady in the Water." All in all, "The Happening" is actually pretty successful, considering it's a serious horror film about trees... that kill!

Entourage star Jeremy Piven has signed on to make his Broadway bow in a 2008 production of David Mamet play Speed-the-plow.

The actor will play one of a pair of warring movie producers in the show, which will debut in New York in November.

The play, which is currently receiving rave reviews in London - where Kevin Spacey and Jeff Goldblum play the leads, last hit Broadway in 1988, when it was nominated for a Tony Award, with Madonna playing the female lead Keren.

Other than Piven, no other casting announcements have been made for the show, but Jessica Alba is hotly tipped to take on the Keren role.

Hollywood actor Jeff Goldblum has taken a step towards becoming an international environmental campaigner - holding talks with a group of influential activists.

The Jurassic Park star has reportedly held a meeting with the chief executive of ClientEarth - a group of lawyers seeking "Justice for the planet" by campaigning on issues such as coal power stations and airport expansions.

Goldblum, 55, has previously declared his dedication to environmental issues by advertising Toyota's petrol-electric hybrid Prius car.

And now the actor has taken the next step and is said to be discussing future projects with ClientEarth, according to British newspaper The Independent.

A further meeting is said to have been scheduled for this summer in Los Angeles.
